Title: Another thing ticked off the list of things to experience before I peg out!
Post by: Lord Shagg-Pyle on May 20, 2009, 22:14:37

I've just got back from a vist to New Zealand where I experienced an earthquake!
Weird! I was sat in my brother's house, when all the pictures started to move, and then half a second later I felt like I was punched in the back! Apparently it was tremor that measured 4.5 on the Richter scale. Freaky! And no, it wasn't caused by too much beer! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Seeing a Tasmanian Devil was also on my list, which has been ticked off. Unfortunately it wasn't spinning round while snarling and spitting which was a shame, although her Ladyship does do a good impression, usually when I have spent more cash on the Disco.
I have decided that I quite like Oz, as everything there appears to be powered by V8's of varying types, not so many in NZ though.
The Ozzies that I spoke to were coughing at the price of fuel there, namely $1.28 a litre. They laughed when I told them how much it was here, which I thought was very unkind. :(
